1-4 Player Co-op open-world zombie apocalypse game. Explore, Build, Upgrade, and Defend from constant waves of Zombies. · By
Please post to the Bugs & Suggestions Topic
The following feedback/bugs/suggestions comes from my personal experience playing the game. That said, I know that the developers wanted to create a game that was simple and fun, but I personally would like the game to be more of a survival game rather than an indie game of sorts (Of course that's just my opinion).
Feedback:
1) I think it is very important to give the player a choice to pick their difficulty... In the current mode, there's too much ammo, too much food, the car is very op (as it does not take damage and can ram down zombies/trees), zombies are really easy to kill and there's very little of them except in the city (the cave/church have very few zombies, I only had trouble with the red ones who run fast), dashing comes with a 0.5 sec cool-down and dashes a long distance (No need to run anywhere), the buffs cost a very small amount of bones(very easy to obtain + Speed Potion gives super speed), bosses are too slow/easy to kill (spray em down with the gun ez pz).
2) There isn't a lot of time to move around as hordes come by really quickly and if you are across the map... (I did read that the more u build the more time u get? Didn't really understand that)
3) I see that zombies spawn in per square, as in every time u walk into one of the big squares on the map, the zombies spawn in, I am guessing this mechanic is put in use to avoid low fps, either way, sometimes when I am running fast (as in the case of the bridge), I sprint really fast and all of the sudden I walk into 3-5 zombies that weren't there before because they hadn't spawned :l
4) Don't know if this is a bug, but sometimes u can use wood to replace metal...
5) The directions to some survivors were very unclear Ex: The farmer told me to fix his fence but I couldn't find it / The girls in the bus told me to collect wood...?
Bugs:
1) When chopping trees, the wood goes flying out everywhere (Very Common)
2) The car can get stuck within the entrance to the hospital if u ram it in there xD (Don't know if it also applies to cave/church)
3) The first time I saved the game, I came back to horde 1 instead of horde 4, I reloaded the save and that time I joined back to horde 1 + camp had disappeared (RIP Gamesave)
4) Survivors go straight through walls to get to your camp (Although I think this is deliberate because making an AI for that would be difficult)
5) The blur doesn't seem to be able to be turned off (There's still some in the edges idk....)
6) In the church, it is really easy to get stuck/get zombies stuck because when u break open a tomb, the parts fall off and can obstruct movement
Suggestions:
1) Different options of difficulties with requirements like health on cars, less ammo/food, stronger/faster zombies, more bones required in shop, higher cool-down for dash etc.
2) Add different types of melee/ranged weapons (Although I am sure you guys are already thinking about it)
3) Make the walls/spikes change as they take damage so we can see which one is damaged
4) Add an XP system/ reward system for killing zombies etc. (I know it would be complicated but it would be rather cool :D)
5) Achievements (Very Possible and not that hard to do)
6) Some sort of PVP (After the game is at least 90% rid of bugs)
7) Animals/ Zombie Animals :D
8) Parkour? Jumping on top of cars and so, to avoid zombies from attacking in (In the bridge there's quite a lot of zombies and it's hard to pass by on foot)
9) Building walls/floors/roofs/windows (Makes the game more creative)
10) Different classes? (Personally I prefer sticking with one character)
11) Character Customization!
12) More graphics settings in the options (Shadows, Texture Quality, etc.)
13) A more primitive approach? (Start with a bow and build your way to the pistol)
14) Axes as a faster method of chopping trees
15) Different maps/map creator (Once again, probably already in mind)
16) Stamina bar
Wow, that was a lot of writing, well, thanks for taking the time to read (if u read all of it xD) this and I hope you take some of my feedback and apply it into future updates. :)
Hey SKylz,
Thank you so much for the support!
at the moment there is only LOCAL multiplayer, rather than LAN or Online. To play with friends, you'll have to all be playing on the same computer (and eventually PS4). We do have plans for online multiplayer in the near future.
DBMB! is plug-and-play friendly! With any supported controller, players can join whenever Player 1 is at either the camp or the entrance to a dungeon. You'll know by seeing the "Press ___ to join" UI pop up in the corners of the screen. To leave a game, players need simply hold down the 'Opt-Out' button.

Hey Skylz,
Unless you can somehow map the joystick to the WASD keys im not sure how you can get it to work, You can try scrolling all the way down in the Input Configuration tab of that popup when you open the game and assigning the joystick to P1_Horizontal and P1_Vertical but i'm not sure how well that would work to be honest.

Hope this helps,

Hello!
First, I'd just like to say how amazing your game is, and the effor you put into it, so thanks! But I have one main question here; How long do you estimate for LAN co-op to be ready? It's just my close friend, I would love to introduce this game to him but we can't play together as none of us have a controllers, so just wondering how many days since I'll be off to his place in 2-3 days. Another suggestion - Being able to find different supplies and have different building require different things. Also having survivors being able to patrol the perimeters of your camp or make them follow you, though I understand that's quite hard to programme. And last of all, being able to find different weapons?
Just some ideas, hope you reply and another thanks for making such a great game!

So sorry about this, the main focus right now is releasing on Playstation 4 in May I'm also working on my thesis game which also slows down everything. The game originally started as an online game so I definitely know all the back and forth it takes to get it working and really want to focus on the Playstation release first. So sometime in May or soon after May.
Another suggestion - Being able to find different supplies and have different building require different things.
Additions to the build system definitely in the schedule, Thanks for the suggestions!
Also having survivors being able to patrol the perimeters of your camp or make them follow you, though I understand that's quite hard to programme. And last of all, being able to find different weapons?
There's definitly going to be a "Party" system where you can take survivors out with you and better AI so that survivors stay around the base doing things to help. You will also be able to find and buy weapons and cars with bones collected in game or by purchasing them for pretty cheap. All DLC will be obtainable for free in game
Hope this helps, Thanks for the feedback and support,

Hey I'm loving the game so far and i don't know if this is just me but the hordes come to quickly. So i think it would be a great thing if they had a longer timer cause when I'm trying to explore or gather materials i can never get much cause i always have to go back for the hordes. Sometimes they will destroy a few walls and break one of my towers and then i go to get the materials to remake them i remake them and the next horde will come along and destroy the stuff again. I think it would be awesome if the hordes timers were longer or even better yet we could have a different game mode with no hordes or maybe just much longer timers to build better bases or explore more of the city. I don't know much about programming and making or changing games and i don't know if this is really hard and i don't know if this is just me and a few of my friends but i think this would be a great improvement to the game. Also another suggestion i have. I think that it would be great if we could have different levels of difficulty. Maybe easy difficulty can have zombies with lower health and longer time till hordes come and you don't use the material's when you die and normal can be like it is know and hard might have the zombies with more health and three melee hits to kill with your base character. Maybe there could also be a impossible or very difficult mode that could be if you die then you restart everything. Another suggestion that could happen is maybe there could be a mode where you are a zombie. Maybe you could do this if you can get online multiplayer and then have zombies and players fighting and as you being a zombie you can be some sort of boss and this might be impossible but its just a suggestion. I would also love if we could have more maps. I think that this probably wont happen for a long time but in the future if we could have more maps that would be great or maybe we could have a bigger map with a few different people on as a multiplayer and you can have alliances and fight each other like a pvp aspect of the game.
I know I'm asking a lot but this are just suggestions that i think would make the game much better. I really like the game and hope that it can keep getting better and better.
Hey Desdodo,
Thank you so much for your feedback and suggestions. Update 1.0.8 added alot of things requsted by the community but has also changed the balance of the game. Please play and let me know any new suggestions or bugs found. Changing the difficulty will also change the rate of the Herd. When you die in multiplayer you become a zombie that can either attack your friends or help them, you have to fight your zombie urges though

Hey Defusethebomb,
If you're on windows could you try the win32 version? Or you can try lowering the quality in the resolution window. Could also be happening if you dont have space on your drive or permission to write files,
If you continue having problems please write in the Bugs & Suggestions topic ill try my best to help you out.
Hope this helps,
Rafi
